Colors are special order, pre-order yours at the top of the page.The QRB does not include a Touch & Go plate, you can add one here. Want the QRB Touch & Go as a complete system? That’s $525 and the last QRB you’ll ever need to buy.  I also sell the small size mini-QRB as well as the mini-touch & go plate.Frequently Asked QuestionsDoes the QRB come with a Touch & Go plate? No, the QRB is the base only. You can add a Touch & Go plate here for $110. If you want the complete system (QRB Touch & Go), that’s $525 total and is the setup most operators run.Does it work with the Arri BP9? Yes. All Clean’s QRBs work with the BP9, no special version needed. The 3/8″-16 threaded holes line up. Check the gallery for the exact hole positions.What’s the difference between the QRB, QRB-L, and QRB-DV? The standard QRB has the release lever on the right. The QRB-L is mirrored, release on the left, so yer right hand stays on the back of the camera. The QRB-DV adds a built-in dovetail for rigs that need one. If you don’t have a specific reason for either variant, the standard QRB is the right call.Can I get a custom color? Yes, all eight anodized colors (Black, Red, Blue, Gold, Green, Orange, Gun Metal, Pink) are available as special order. Pre-order at the top of the page and check the current delivery window. Standard lead time is a couple of weeks.What happens if something breaks? Send it back. Doesn’t matter when you bought it, we’ll fix it at a modest price. That’s the lifetime repair policy and it has no expiration date. Email us first so we can sort out the details.Is this the same as the Ronford Baker RBQ? Similar in function and form, the QRB is inspired by the Otto Nemenz version of the Ronford Baker Quick Release Base. It’s compatible with the same plates and systems. The difference is it’s machined in the USA, costs $209 less than a Ronford Baker, and doesn’t need to go overseas for repairs.What’s the lead time on backordered items? 1–3 weeks on standard backorder. Check the pre-order banner at the top of the site for the current scheduled delivery date.Build the Full Cart SystemThe QRB is the centerpiece, here’s what pairs with it:Touch & Go Plate, the plate that lives on yer camera.
